Answer

$$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=-\frac{e^{r\theta}r+\csc^2\theta}{e^{r\theta}\theta+\sin r}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\cos r+\cot\theta=e^{r\theta}$$ 1) Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $\theta$: $$\frac{d}{d\theta}(\cos r)+\frac{d}{d\theta}(\cot\theta)=\frac{d}{d\theta}(e^{r\theta})$$ $$-\sin r\frac{dr}{d\theta}-\csc^2\theta=e^{r\theta}\frac{d}{d\theta}(r\theta)$$ $$-\sin r\frac{dr}{d\theta}-\csc^2\theta=e^{r\theta}(r+\theta\frac{dr}{d\theta})$$ $$-\sin r\frac{dr}{d\theta}-\csc^2\theta=e^{r\theta}r+e^{r\theta}\theta\frac{dr}{d\theta}$$ 2) Collect all the terms with $dr/d\theta$ onto one side and solve for $dr/d\theta$: $$e^{r\theta}\theta\frac{dr}{d\theta}+\sin r\frac{dr}{d\theta}=-e^{r\theta}r-\csc^2\theta$$ $$\frac{dr}{d\theta}(e^{r\theta}\theta+\sin r)=-e^{r\theta}r-\csc^2\theta$$ $$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=-\frac{e^{r\theta}r+\csc^2\theta}{e^{r\theta}\theta+\sin r}$$
